Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 slices bacon
• 0.5 small yellow onion
• 0.5 medium bell pepper
• 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel. Once cool, crumble it into small pieces.

Step 3

While the bacon is cooking, finely chop the onion and bell pepper. Discard the seeds and stem of the bell pepper.

Step 4

Drain the excess bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 teaspoon. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and sauté over medium heat until they are tender, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer them to a small bowl and set aside.

Step 5

Wipe the skillet clean, then add the butter and melt it over medium-low heat.

Step 6

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread them evenly. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set.

Step 7

Sprinkle the sautéed onions, bell peppers, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet. Use a spatula to gently fold the other side of the omelet over the fillings.

Step 8

Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.

Step 9

Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your hearty country omelet!
